Question 3 of 30

Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]3 years ago

Answer:

(C) 10.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If Paul added each weight before adding, as you state, he got:

Apples     3.78 ⟶  3.8

Peaches   2.12 ⟶  2.1

Oranges  4.45 ⟶ <u> 4.4 </u>

                    Total 10.3 lb

If he did it this way, he did it <em>incorrectly</em>, and his answer isn't in the list of options, anyway. That's because his method introduces round-off errors.

The correct way is to add the numbers as given, and then round off <em>at the end</em>.

Apples     3.78

Peaches  2.12

Oranges <u> 4.45</u>

   Total  10.35 ⟶ 10.4 lb

Note: When you drop a 5 f<em>ollowed by nothing</em>, you round off to the <em>nearest even number</em>.
